Homegrown Custom Intake Cover!!!

I guess I got a little bored with my intake cover looking like everyone else's so I got out some paint and this was the result (just finished it last night). I painted the base coat with spray duplicolor touch-up paint, hand painted the swirls and did some masking and cutting out with spraying for the stripes!!! I'll clear-coat it later for protection.

On the counter before installation. I included this pic as I couldn't get any decent lighting after I put it in. The yellow kept washing out.

After installation. :smokin: Damn...now it's got me looking at other possibilities!!!

I'll send you some cash for the front top bumper cover and both back bumper covers to be white if you are that bored... :rofl:

Looks good!!!! :evillol: :smokin:

I like it, great job. Now I'll have to do mine! :)

Awsome job man!!! Wish I could do that with mine but it already matches the color of my truck lol.

I was looking at mine last month thining the same thing. It looks plain. I thought of having one in chrome, or painted to match the truck color!!

Nice!!

You still have the flaming bug guard :dunno: ?

You did a really good job man. Very unique color usage too.

Look..I took the bug shield off for a couple of days and didn't like it as well. The flames are part of the shield and part of what makes it uniquely mine!!! It's not overkill and gives it a hot look. Sorry, but the flames stay. Some day when you're as old as me, pehaps you'll understand.

Hey I happen to like the flames on your bug shield. I've got one on mine and I don't much care for it because it looks to plain. I may put a chrome one on there eventually. Everything I buy for my truck seems to be chrome or pollished stainless....what can I say I've got the dark metalic grey paint and chrome just looks awsome against it....I'll get pics up after I get my Ford keys, 33's, FIPK, nerf bars, hood/fender flames and clearvue rear window graphic installed

When painting from a spreay can, what is the best thing to use for a clear coat?

Clear coat!!! Duplicolor also has a clear coat (it's that touch up spray sh!+ available at most auto parts stores). You have to put on several thin layers. I haven't clearcoated this yet, but probably will later this week just to seal it all in.

I have the crappy looking 99 cover thats more square... Mine sucks.

Those still look good painted

I wonder how easy it is to find Indigo Blue metallic paint in the can? and some other good color to paint the words

Just givin you a hard time :smokin: I think It is one of the nicer trucks on here, if that makes you feel better. :dunno: At least I got you thinking about it :naughty:
